G-CNC-001E | Waterjet Cutting for Beginners [ENGLISH] (C)

From 0 to 4000 bar!

The waterjet cutter is an extremely versatile and user-friendly machine which allows you to cut complex two-dimensional shapes in a variety of materials as well as composite materials.

With a 0.9 millimeter-wide jet of water and extremely high accuracy, you will be able to cut soft materials like rubber, plastics, foam, and wood, as well as hard materials like metals (aluminium, steel, stainless steel), stone, and glass without danger of burning the material. The MakerSpace waterjet (Flow Waterjet Mach2 2031b) cuts with a pressure of 4000 bar using a mixture of water and abrasive sand. The maximum work area is 2 x 3,1 meters. The maximum workpiece thickness depends on the material, but ranges from 0.8 to 150 millimeters.

Completion of this course is a prerequisite for independently using the waterjet machine!
